I heart Blessed Little Nest

Thems here interwebz have a strange way of making this big, big world seem very small and cozy. They make it seem normal to email someone that you have never met, tell them that you will be in their town for a bit, and ask if by chance they would mind taking you to the airport. What should be total weirdness isn't weird at all. The ways that lives intersect and weave together is somehow beautifully comforting.

Heather from Blessed Little Nest is always looking for the lovely in the mundane. Finding beauty in grief. Using her heart to build a legacy for her dear son Samuel. She is creative. Versatile. But most of all, her life is marked by generosity. By a calm strength. Each post will make you want to love on your family more. To create effortless loveliness all around you.

I heart Heather. For a gazillion reasons more than her mad airport shuttle skillz. I know you will too.

Really beautiful sentiments, Heather. The Lord is so good to redeem us in the language of our hearts, at just the right time. Thanks for sharing your story. (And for some frivolous information, I have THAT SAME BIRD CARD above my desk too. The one and the two. Love those stinkin birds. However my bird peers down at desk disaster.)

Julie, thank you so much for introducing us to Heather. When I was introduced to blogland I had no idea that I would be walking through my own version of loss and pain. I am so thankful for women like you both who find love and peace and show others how they make it through the pain. ::Hugs::

i heart her too! Heather is such a treasure! Her words are contantly inspiring me in my "normal" life. Blogland is a funny thing, especially since we never really know who is listening and who the Lord may be speaking too through a simple post. Heather, I have a feeling God is using your voice in many of our lives....keep up the good work of listeneng and submitting to Him. Thanks for being you.

I stumbled upon Julie's blog in the exact same way with our 1st loss a year + ago. Then God led me to your blog when we lost our Samuel a few months ago. Thank you for this beautiful post and reminding me of why there even is this 'blog world'. I actually just emailed Julie last week and said 'you don't know me...but would you meet for a cup of coffee'. It was great! She has a HUGE heart as do you Heather. Thank you both for your blogs. It brings daily healing to my broken heart who aches to hold my son.

OK, Heather, you have a new stalker now. That would be me. I found Julie in much the same way, for much the same reason. I can't tell you how how healing Julie's words have been for me. Last March I found out I was pregnant after ll years of marriage and one perfect, blessed adoption. I thought this was my bonus miracle, after my adopted baby. I miscarried in April. It is still so hard. Thank you for your words about anger and depression. I try to stay away from those -- sometimes they feel quite comfortable -- and I know Julie's blog has been and now yours will be the Lord protecting me from those things. Thanks so much for sharing your stories.
